A vertical shrink is an example of a non-rigid transformation. true or false? A vertical shrink is an example of a non-rigid transformation.

It is absolutely true that a vertical shrink is an example of a non rigid transformation. The correct option among the two options that are given in the question is the first option. a vertical shrink is actually any kind of transformation of a geometrical object that does not change the shape but changes the size only.

Transformation is:

1. Rigid if size and shape did not change;

2. Nonrigid if shape changed or size changed.

Definition:

For the base function f (x) and a constant k > 0, the function given by g (x) = k f (x) is vertically shrinking f (x) by a factor of k if 0 < k < 1.

Vertical shrink is changing the overall dimensions of the base graph without altering its shape. When a graph is shrunk vertically, the x - intercepts act as anchors and do not change under the transformation. This means that a vertical shrink is nonrigid transformation
